Four ‘extraordinary’ Renaissance paintings stolen from Italian museum | BBC News
Four Renaissance paintings of “extraordinary value” have been stolen from a museum in Sicily, Italy’s culture minister has said.
Alessandro Giuli confirmed that three panels of the Polyptych of San Gregorio and a double-sided panel of the Madonna with Child and Christ in Pietà, all attributed to Antonello da Messina, were taken from the Regional Interdisciplinary Museum of Messina on Saturday night.
Police are now probing how the thieves were able to enter the museum without triggering its alarms and who may have been responsible.
The incident is the latest in a string of museum heists across Europe that have led to a growing number of priceless works disappearing from public view.

A Scottish Sikh activist has been released from prison in India after being detained for almost nine years without being convicted.
Jagtar Singh Johal thanked “the almighty” as he walked free from gate three of the Tihar Prison complex in Delhi.
The 39-year-old from Dumbarton was arrested in 2017 over allegations he had a role in a series of targeted killings of religious and political figures – which he denies.
Johal was granted bail at Delhi High Court on 18 September, but has only now been released from detention.

Spain’s coalition government has approved new housing measures following protests over the country’s housing crisis, sparked by the eviction of an 87-year-old woman from her home in Madrid last week.
Ministers met on Tuesday to discuss the proposals, which include a potential ban on evictions until 2030, Health Minister Mónica García said.
She said the measures would bring relief to more than five million people – but opposition politician Míriam Nogueras said the agreement left “small landlords out in the cold”.
The new housing measures need to be approved in parliament, where the leftist coalition government lacks a majority.
